As far as I'm concerned the only good thing the CBC has money invested in right now is Doctor Who and that's by the BBC.

Kids in the Hall was, and SCTV for a couple seasons (that is how Bob and Doug came about - NBC was also airing the show, but had extra commercials. The CBC asked the SCTV writers to fill the time with something "Canadian". The writers were offended since the whole show is Canadian, so Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis came up with their over the top satire of Canadiana - Bob & Doug.) SCTV was also on Global (in it's early incarnation) and was produced independantly.
I believe degrassi has been independant in all its incarnations, but I haven't followed it at all.
